Goldfarb (communication sciences and disorders, Adelphi U.) compiles 45 essays written by speech-language pathologists and audiologists from North America, England, Hong Kong, and Australia in honor of the late speech scientist Sadanand Singh. They focus on translational speech-language pathology and audiology and include personal essays on their relationships with Singh and his life and influence. They discuss the nature of translational research, including models and concepts, dissemination, interventions for promoting resilience in young children, practice-based evidence, and research-to-clinical collaboration. Other topics discussed include public health, education, and clinical policy, with essays on community and office-based cancer screening and education, fostering patient compliance, legal policy, technology use in hearing loss, noise exposure and children's hearing, and off-label use of tests.
